Sometimes in life
Just when it’s right
There’s that moment
And tonight’s that moment
Sometimes we’re lucky
Against all the odds
There’s that fortunate time
And I’m feeling blessed
I’m so comfortable
And I’m gratefully satisfied
Writing these words on todays Newspaper
Reading tomorrows weather report
Peace is finally here
Here right beside of me
Under my verandah roof
Cool and relaxed
Loving the luxury of home
That’s all before me now.
Displaying the fruits of my life.
The picture below is of the scribblings on the newspaper I was using as a pad, trying to write this poem. I was just home from the pub, enjoying my music, and sipping on a glass of port, and somehow managed to read these words and type them up !!
Ivor Steven.
So heartwarming, Ivor. Your emotions came through to me so beautifully!

Glad you were able to find something to write your lovely thoughts on. I’m usually in the shower when inspiration suddenly hits me. So then I’m left diving for a towel, leaving puddles behind me, and by the time I’ve reached something to write on, I’ve usually forgotten what I wanted to say. Lol…
